MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JUNE 28, 1993 <br />1940 SHORELINE DRIVE - CONT. <br />Gaffron stated this parcel could not be subdivided and he was <br />unaware of any other in the area. He noted in the past the Ci ty has <br />been able to uphold its requirement of larger parcels <br />sewered areas. <br />even i n <br />Jabbour asked the expected time frame for a MUSA expansion. <br />Gaffron stated the Metropolitan Council has indicated if the City <br />is willing to do a trade-off of existing MUSA acreage, they could <br />fast track the request and have approval within 4 to 6 weeks, <br />otherwise it would be 90+ days for approval. He noted Noerenburg <br />Park may be an option for a trade. <br />Mayor Callahan suggested staff investigate whether a trade is <br />available, and directed staff to review adjacent properties and <br />others in the City for sewer expansion. <br />Mayor Callahan recessed the meeting from 9:55 to 10:00 p.m. <br />(*#14) SHORELAND ORDINANCE - DNR APPROVAL RECEIVED <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor.Callahan, to accept the <br />information regarding the DNR approval of the Shoreland Ordinance <br />as presented. Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />(#15) SHORELAND SEPTIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS <br />Kelley questioned the number of properties affected by the <br />shoreland regulations with regard to septic systems. He asked <br />variances will be allowed. <br />i f <br />Goetten noted she recently spoke with a resident, and indicated to <br />him that the City may have some flexibility when requiring a system <br />to conform. She felt it to be an undue hardship to require a <br />property owner to immediately upgrade a non-conforming system. <br />Gaffron explained most systems less than 10 years old most likely <br />will not be affected. He noted out of 1,200 systems in the City, <br />600 probably will be required to be upgraded within the next few <br />years, which is not a feasible number for staff to monitor or <br />homeowners to comply with. He noted per the current septic program, <br />owners have one year to comply if their system is found to be non- <br />conforming. The DNR ’ s ordinance suggests a 2 year 9f*4ce period. <br />Gaffron felt this may allow the City additional flexibility. <br />J
